23 Jan Now Supporting Pay Cards for Payroll: A Smarter Way to Pay Employees
As payroll businesses continue to evolve, speed, convenience, and flexibility matter more than ever. That’s why we’re excited to share that starting this January, we will have the ability to support our payroll merchants with Pay Cards.
Pay Cards are a secure, convenient way for employers to pay employees electronically, without requiring traditional direct deposit or paper checks. They offer employees fast access to wages while giving employers a modern payroll option that’s easy to implement and manage.
What Is a Pay Card?
A Pay Card is a reloadable prepaid card that employers can use to deliver wages. Each pay period, wages are loaded onto the card, and employees can access funds through purchases, ATM withdrawals, and more, depending on the program.
This is a strong solution for businesses with hourly teams, seasonal staffing, or employees who prefer an alternative to bank-based direct deposit.
What the Enrollment Process Looks Like
Once an employer is ready to move forward, the Pay Card program follows a clear timeline designed to support a smooth rollout.
Here’s a high-level overview of the process:
- Signed agreement received
- Enrollment planning and due diligence
- Bank approval
- Marketing materials and technology setup
- Card stock shipment
- Rollout, training, and promotion
- Ongoing support
Employers can also request an expedited start date depending on their goals and timeline.
Why Payroll Merchants Should Offer Pay Cards
Adding Pay Cards can create value for both employers and employees, including:
- A modern payroll payment option beyond paper checks
- Faster access to wages for employees
- Reduced admin time for employers
- A simple solution for teams without traditional banking
